Painting Paint Tubes
Marching Paint Tubes
Whim :) (In-Process Self-Portrait)
Yay painting! :D I have a special place in my heart for painting since this is what I have been doing the longest. If I had to choose right now what my BFA would be, I would choose either painting or drawing. Anyhoo, here are my three paintings that I made this semester :) The first two are a mini-series representing rhythm through repetition. We had to choose objects we either buy in the masses or collect, and with paint or any art supply that is definitely true! So of course I decided to paint paint tubes...I really love reflective surfaces, because those surfaces are where I really get to push the contrast which was constantly drilled into my mind in high school, and for that I am so grateful. I have also discovered that I love working big which seems intimidating, but it is so much easier to paint the details, and it's just more fun in general as well, and I feel very accomplished when I am done. The third image is an in-process self-portrait which was my third and fourth paintings for the class. This is my first ever oil painting, and I have fallen in love! The process was very difficult at first because I had no idea what I was doing, but once I learned how to use the medium and how it's different from person to person, I really enjoyed learning what my style and preferences were. So far as the design goes, I wanted to show my personality through the colors, my loose style, and my expression. I haven't quite gotten it to where I want it, but it's getting there. I am very excited to finish this painting this summer and see how it looks complete!
